Great inequity in health workers distribution around the world

Health workforce shortage is becoming an urgent problem in high income countries ( including Switzerland). In order to respond to an increasing need, health workers have been drained from other countries ( including from developing countries).

But when looking at the availability of health workers around the world related to the population needs, there is a great inequity in the distribution of nurses and doctors among countries, which should encourage a more fair distribution of resources and a greater effort in education of health workers across the globe.
